Lightness Lyrics

There's a tear in the fabric of your favorite dress
And I'm sneaking glances
Looking for the patterns in static
They start to make sense the longer I'm at it

Ivory lines lead, ooh, ooh

Your heart is a river that flows from your chest
Through every organ
Your brain is the dam
And I am the fish who can't reach the core

Ivory lines lead, ooh, ooh

Oh, instincts are misleading
You shouldn't think what you're feeling
They don't tell you what you know you should want

Ivory lines lead, ooh, ooh
Ivory lines lead, ooh, ooh

Oh, instincts are misleading
You shouldn't think what you're feeling
They don't tell you want you know you should want

Ivory lines lead, ooh
Ivory lines lead, ooh

What is the Meaning of Lightness?

Ever felt like a fish out of water, trying to decipher the mysteries of love and logic? This song dives into the conundrum of following your instincts versus trusting your brainy, overthink-y thoughts. Our protagonist is lost in a world of mixed signals, staring at the tear in a dress as if it's bound to reveal the secrets of the universe. There's a river of emotions flowing from the heart, blocked by the dam-like brain, leaving our little fish floundering. Ultimately, those ivory lines are a reminder that sometimes, the heart and mind aren't even playing the same game, yet alone on the same team. So, if you're a fan of overanalyzing love like it's your favorite rom-com, this one's for you. #LoveVsLogic #HeartVsBrain #FishOutOfWater #EmotionalMaze
